I saw Panasonic's plasma sets well over 20 years ago. They were completely dedicated to the plasma technology, while Sharp pioneered the LED technology. Sharp still controls a lot of the LED technology and Panasonic the Plasma (at least patent wise). Sony at the time controlled about 75% of the world market for the conventional CRT sets and they elected to ignore the flat screen technology and that's why they are so way behind the current video technology.
I believe Mitsubishi debuted a 42 inch plasma circa 1990 but it was a 480p set and the US had just announced the new HD conventions, which killed the set before it really entered th4e market. They imported about 250 (OEMed for them by someone else) sets into the US and, after they were sold, dropped the model.
At a CES, I spoke to a Panasonic VP and he told me not to expect an affordable plasma till a decade had passed ( this was in 1991).
